Spanish term or phrase: deslizamiento de aluminio
Here is the original context:

"Del cojinete de biela solamente quedó el respaldo de acero muy dañado, no hay rastros del material de deslizamiento de aluminio"

Could this be ".... there were no signs of the aluminium runnners" ???

aluminum anti-friction material (babbitt)
Explanation:
For years, since the mid-19th century, crankshaft bearings were coated with a soft alloy formulated by an inventor - whose name was associated with it. Bearings were said to be babbitted.

The term is still in use today, so the approriate term in this case would be Aluminum Babbitt (although Babbitt never used aluminum, the principle is the same.)

(no indications) of aluminium scrapings


Explanation:
scrapings coming from the aluminium sliding over another metal or itself. La "rastros del MATERIAL de deslizamiento de aluminio" - la material suggests to me that it's a by-product of the action of the aluminum sliders/runners/etc.
